The Novice and His Teacher.

There is a story about two Bowery
gentlemen in New York that's not too
dried. One of them was moving in
what the other considered swell soci-
ETY., and he was puzzled how he man
aged to keep up the style.
"How do you do it ?" he asked.
"Vell, you see, I buys me dress
coat NIT tails at an auction, an when
gets on dat coat gets blenty of invita-
tons, an goes oud."
"But we're does you get the monish ?"
"The menish? You see venever I
goes takes away Wit me silver spoon
or knife, or something's, and I gets
two or three dollars for them. It's
easy as pie. Wy don't you try it?"
"Me! I vas honest. I couldn't do
no such pizness."
However, he was persuaded to buy
cheap dress suit and 60 into society
under guidance of his ingenious friend.
The first party they attended the old
bird said:
Ivy don't you make away nit some
things? It'll never be known. Yes
pizness men,"
"No. I couldn't. Vat! Accept of
their hospitality an den-no-no, I
couldn't do it,"
"Look here. This is de way" And
he pulled up bis trousers and showed
two knives and spoon sticking in his
boot. The other was too honest to
follow his example. When the supper
was in progress the honest one got up
and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, I vas much
obliged for your hospitality. Twas not
good at speech-making, but vas able
to do some sleight-of-hand tricks. You
see takes dem two knives und one
spoon, SO. You see I puts dem in my
pocket, so. Now I say presto queek!
You looks in dat mans boots und you
finds dem knives and spoon"
Then he said goodnight and went
home. Francisco Chronicle.

A Glimpse Of Diekeps

My personal acquaintance with the
great novelist was to belong only to the
last season of his life. But what
picture of kindness and interest It
leaves. He had home in London for
the season. Fresh from the faseina-
ton of private theatricals at Sir Percy
Shelley's pretty theater among the
Buncombe pines, where one of Dickens
daughters had, like myself, been among
the players, I met him for the first
time at dinner on the evening after I
had left them. He was at once deeply
interested in history of the proceed
ings, particularly in the tremendous
melodrama which had been the chief
article in the bills of fare. It was
called "Carlmllhan, and had been Sc
lected by our kindly host and manager
(now the halo of that same majority
circles the name of Shelley, too,)
chiefly because of the wild variety of
trap doors. thunder storms, cutlass en-
counters, and illicit stills which per-
vaded that extraordinary play, the
work, I believe, of the late ingenious
Mr.. Fitzball. Sir Percy reveled in
mechanical appliances of all kinds and
looked after them all himself. Dickens
enjoyed "Carlmilhan" at second hand
like boy, the more as he said he had
fancied that he knew the name of every
new play that had been acted for years
(melodrama of the higher kinds was
his pet PASSION, but that this strange
named pirate was entirely new to him.
So much, however, did the train of
thought suggested fire the old play
spirit in the man that it came about
that the last months of his life were to
be associated once more with the art
he had loved and practiced so well.
what pity you write these things"
said some old prompter to him once
more over Martin or Nicholas--"such
an actor as you would have been!" 1t
was at Charles Dickens suggestion that
some of us, his daughter included, cast
and mounted little two-act drama for
performance at one of Lady F.'s enter
tainments at Cromwell House. He
meant at first 10 take a part himself,
but the lameness from which he was
suffering, which, alas! was the token of
the end, prevented him from feeling
equal to it. But he superintendent and
managed the whole thing, and re-
hearsed with US every day at his house
till we migrated to the scene of the
performance. His interest was keen
and young as ever, and he threw him
self into every part with each actor in
turn in way not to be forgotten. 1t
was an odd play, if of soberer COM
plexion than "Carlmilhan, and don't
quite know why we chose it; but it
served. To me it fell to enact an Aus
trian banker of such mysterious pro-
clivities that one day I asked our
director why he didn't give me as many
hints as to some of the others.
"Oh! you'll be all right" he said.
"But, Mr.. Dickens, at least tell me
if my part is comic or tragic.
"God only knows, my dear boy" with
such twinkle). "Play it whichever
way you feel tonight" - Herman
MeriUale. I'M Temple Bar.

ARIZONA is without laws. The last
Legislature abolished the laws of the
Territory, both special and general,
and adopted an entirely new code.
The new code was to go into effect

hands at st. Louis. The officials and
people Of the Territory are totally ig-
norant of the code of laws, and all
courts viii have to close until the code

The White House menu is pretty
much of the same character as will be
found in the house of the average
American citizen in comfortable cir
cumstances, says Baltimore paper.
For breakfast, roll and steak, ham and
eggs. fish, chops and coffee, preceded
by the fruits of the season and oatmeal
and cream, of which both the President
and Mrs. Cleveland are fond. Lun-
cheon consists of tea, cold meats,
bread, butter, and berries. Dinner
will BE soup, fish, and the standard
meats and vegetables and fruits. No
wines are ever served unless guests are
at the table. After dinner the Presi-
dent may take cigar, but his smoking
is generally confined to a single one.
His occupations now leave him but lit
tie time to read books, but he has been
an extensive reader of classical poems
and fiction, and quotes from them free
~. His newspaper reading only COW
ers the Geographic and news columns
of the morning papers and such other
articles as are brought to his attention
by his secretary. He shaves himself
every morning, and usually wears a
black Prince Albert coat and black
pantaloons, except in the summer, when
he wears blue flannel or serge suit,

from time to time for repositories Of
their traditions, Judge J. d. Walker
says. and they are carefully instructed
IN the historical legends pertaining to
their tribe, being required to commit
them faithfully to memory. They in
turn instruct their successors, and thus
preserve the traditions in the exact
language recited by their ancestors
OF many years ago. They have knowl-
edge of the tribe that built the old
Casa Grande and other vast buildings,
whose ruins now excite such interest
and curiosity. The descendants of this
tribe now live in Sonora, and from
them it may be possible to learn much
OF the civilization that once prevailed
along the ella River.

ORIGIN OF "TAW.'

Max Duncker, quoting Herodotus,
who visited Egypt about the middle of
the fifth century, B. c., says that as
the ancient and magnificent city of
Memphis worshiped the god Ptah,
the Egyptians worshiped five. Their
inscriptions named Ptah, "The Lord of
Truth, "The Father of TRUTH" "The
Ruler of the Sky" "The King of the
Worlds" "The Father of the Father
of the Gods" On pillar in Mem
phis, now in the Berlin museum, be-
longing to the time of the nineteenth
dynasty, he is called "The only Unbe-
gotten Begetter in the Heaven and on
the Earth, The God who Made Him
self to be God, who Exists by Himself,
the Double Being. the Begotten of the
First Beginning" Other inscriptions
and records denote him as "The Creator
of Heaven and of Earth, who Has
Made all Things, the Lord of all That
Is, and Is Not" Thus Ptah, the sum
god, the god of fire, was one of the
forms under which the Egyptions
evoked and worshiped the Creator,
the true God. It is strange that
this word taw or Ptah, should come to
us with so much significance and enter
so early and so prominently into our
amusements. Where is the school-boy
who ever played a game of marbles
who did not reverence his "taw." It is
the most beautiful agate of all his
wealth. It rolls in the sunshine, flash
ing like dew drop. It carries victory
and spoils in it's movement. When
challenged to play by his schoolmate
he searches every pocket for the inn
portant @taw." It is carved and en-
graved with the hieroglyphics of his
own genius, whose meaning is only In
teligib,e to himself. When defeat
overtakes him and all is lost he retains
the talisman, his "taw," sole companion
of his poverty, to nerve and encourage
him to again renew the struggle. When
he loses his "taw" all is lost, indeed.
The scbool-boy's "taw" carry with it
many bright places into the realities of
life that are delightful memories.

and left the house again.
He went direct to Slocum's, routed
that worthy out of bed and told him in
three words that Scotty should go free.
Slocum chuckled, patted him on the

Later, as Carruth was returning to
his own bed, he said to Dolly: @Do not

A QUIET STREAM.

quiet stream
Flowed through a level meadow-all day long
Its voice was hesrd In murmurous melody.
That half whisper seemed, and half a song
Yet no one paused TO hear its harmony,
Or marked the brightness of its sunny CLEAN.
But where its course
Was half arrested by the rugged stone
It sweled and bubbled till with new born power
1t leaped the barrier, all its weakness gone
It's spray ascending in a silvery shower,
Its onward way pursued with added force.
Its beauty then
The artist praised, the poet sang until
Came many to admire the pretty scene
4lalf marveling at the strength of such a rill-
silver ribbon parting banks of green,
swift as an arrow, deeper than their ken.
